[comp.sys.amiga] VTL Questions

JFS10@psuvm.psu.edu (Jonathan Swaby) (10/15/90)

I recently downloaded what I assume is the newest version of VLT. It is
version 4.8xxx. The version I had before that was 4.2xxx. Everytime I use
the new version it asks me to insert volume REXX. I know there is a way
to get this to stop showing up, but I don't remember how to do it. The
other problem is that I am missing the xprkermit.library and xprxmodem.library
files, therefore I cant do any file transfers. It also seems that the scripting
langauge has changed. Script command that worked in the older version give
me errors now. Where can I find docs on the scripting lang. for this
version.

say "assign REXX: <rexx_script_location>".  For example, mine is:
"assign REXX: s:rexx"

VLT won't run without the rexx: assigned (or a volume called "rexx" somewhere).

The libraries and the docs for VLT can be found at New Xanth
(abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov) by anonymous FTP.
